So THIS is Why Doctors Keep Me Waiting!
Doctors Have Your Back
Doctors take time to fight for you. If your insurance denies you a procedure or refuses to pay for it, many doctors will dive in as your advocate to make the problem go away — and sometimes, all you know is that the procedure was paid for.
The Doctor Isn’t the Only One Running Late
Sometimes your doctor is running late because you’re running late. A patient might think nothing of coming in 10 minutes late, complaining about traffic or parking. However, that small delay sets the entire schedule back.
Doctors Want to Know How You’re Self-Medicating
Any kind of medication you ingest matters to your doctor – and those herbal supplements you picked up at the local health food store may matter most of all. Make a list of all your alternative and over-the-counter meds before you go in for a checkup.

Doctors like to hear the words “Thank you.” You can make your doctor’s day by sending her something as small as a thank-you card.
